Yeah, don't be like me and best of luck. My biggest shortcoming was my mental state, that could have been prepared if I sparred more full throttle and gotten used to high paced sparring.

I'm hoping so. Mostly the thing I worry about most is getting jerked around. I've seen three of my teammates fight different people than they were originally slated to. But it's my gym's event, so that should probably be minimal.

Also of note- my wife actually WANTS to be a ring girl, but we don't have those.

Ya, did you read the OP on why I wasn't using leg kicks (though its mainly becuase I sucked) ? In retrospect I could have stopped him dead cold in many of his barrages.

wait ... you're confusing me.

You started this thread and are the guy in the video?

Did I even read the fucking title you mean?

Did I ask you why? No.

I just thought for your first event and with the advise you have already received. All I could add was my first thought when it was over, after finally seeing it.

Seriously, wreck motherfuckers' legs. It is funny and effective.

In my video where I get beat up (Sept 2009), I have more skill than this video (2007) but in the old pankration video (the 2007 video) my mindset is much better. I was more level headed, didn't freak out, and forced the guy to fight my fight. (guy isn't as sucky as he looks; the videos from his other matches he's taking down mf'ers left and right)

But seriously, I can use all the criticism I can get so it will.not.happen.again. Thanks.
